Yes, I meant ITU SS7. Forgot about the multiple variants ...

Here is the relevant quote from ITU Q.703:

11.2.2 For the basic error control method, the priorities are:
Highest    1. Link status signal units.
           2. Message signal units which have not yet been acknowledged and for which a
               negative acknowledgement has been received.
           3. New message signal units.
           4. Fill-in signal units.
Lowest     5. Flags.

So fill-in signal units are sent unless some serious error prevents sending
anything but flags.

Don't know about any other variants of SS7.
